RFK Jr. Promises Bureaucratic Bloodbath in National Institutes of Health; Suggests 600 Will Be Fired Day 1 of Trump Admin
Based if true!
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is offering a prognostication for the second Trump administration, suggesting that 600 bureaucrats will be fired by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on Trump’s first day.
“We need to act fast, and we want to have those people in place on Jan. 20, so that on Jan. 21, 600 people are going to walk into offices at NIH and 600 people are going to leave,” Kennedy said while appearing at the Genius Network Annual Event in Scottsdale, Ariz.
RFK Jr. believes that Big Pharma has captured the NIH and that hundreds of bureaucrats need to be eliminated for the agency to regain its independence.
“We need to be able to respond very quickly and need to have a really, really good crack staff right now – we have the people, [but] we need to get them paid, we need to get them, housing in Florida, so they can be right there when we walk into these transition meetings day after day,” he said.
RFK Jr. also gave a window into the vetting process that Trump is using when determining who he should put into his second administration.
“He comes into the meeting and he very quickly – you know, there are eight giant screens and each person has a picture of themselves on the screen, they have a biography next to them, you can press a button and see three different clips of that person …and he goes through them very very quickly and he says, ‘I want that guy,’” he said.
“He listens to what people say, but he makes the decisions and he gets very, very firm ideas. And he decides very quickly. And the meetings are very quick when he comes in,” RFK Jr. added.
RFK Jr. was rumored to be Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, but Trump’s White House transition co-chair Howard Lutnick put the kibosh on that notion.
“That’s not what he wants to do,” Lutnick said of RFK Jr. becoming HHS secretary. “He just wants data, and he wants to prove things [about vaccines] are wrong. And he says, ‘If I can’t prove they’re wrong, that’s fine. But if I can, I can save millions of Americans’ lives and make their lives better.’”
Hopefully RFK Jr.’s influence remains within Trump’s inner circle because what he is suggesting is exactly what is needed within the NIH. It is past time to give the federal government an enema.
